I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Qin Yu smiled calmly and didn't respond. He was used to the sarcasm and ridicule in this kind of situation and didn't bother to argue with them.

"Wait..." Lin Ya's eyes suddenly lit up. "Why do I feel that this gentleman looks familiar?" She pretended to be thoughtful. "Oh, right! Aren't you the son-in-law of the Wang family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Yu, their eyes filled with curiosity and gossip excitement.

"A live-in son-in-law from the Wang family?" someone whispered.

"Isn't that the loser who was kicked out?"

"Oh my God, how could Ying Er..."

Liu Ying's expression changed slightly, but she still stood firmly beside Qin Yu: "Everyone has misunderstood. Qin Yu is only here to treat my father's illness."

"Treatment?" Lin Ya's eyes widened exaggeratedly. "Ying'er, you're really desperate. You treat this trash that the Wang family doesn't want as a treasure?"

"That's right, how can such a person cure diseases?"

"He must be a charlatan."

"Ying'er is such a fool! Why did she find a doctor like this?"

Everyone started talking at once, and the words became increasingly harsh. Liu Ying's face became increasingly uglier, but due to the situation, she could only endure it.

Qin Yu remained calm, as if the ridicule had nothing to do with him. He had seen so many such scenes before that he had developed a fortress of steel.

"Everyone, today is a charity dinner, so let's talk about something happy." Liu Ying tried to change the subject.

"Happy?" Lin Ya sneered, "Ying'er, I'm doing this for your own good. You're the daughter of the Liu Group, what kind of man can't you find? Why do you have to look for this second-hand stuff?"

"That's enough!" Liu Ying finally couldn't help it. "How can you talk like that?"

"How dare you talk like that? Aren't we telling the truth?" Lin Ya said smugly. "The Wang family kicked him out for a reason. How dare you keep a guy with such questionable character?"

The people around nodded in agreement, as if they were a court judging Qin Yu.

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the venue.

"The young master is here!"

"It's Mr. Chen!"

Everyone turned around and saw Chen Haoran striding into the venue. He was wearing a custom-made dark blue suit tonight, and he exuded the aura of a successful man.

Lin Ya's eyes immediately flashed with excitement. Chen Haoran was a big shot in their circle, the crown prince of Hengtai Group. How many ladies wanted to get close to him?

"Mr. Chen, you're here!" Lin Ya immediately went to greet him.

Others also gathered around to say hello, instantly leaving Qin Yu and Liu Ying aside.

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. At least for the time being, she didn't have to face those harsh taunts.

"It's okay, let's go." Qin Yu comforted softly.

"No." Liu Ying shook her head. "Tonight is a fundraiser for the orphanage. I have to attend."

As he was speaking, Chen Haoran's voice rang out in the meeting room: "Mrs. Lin, I heard what you were discussing at the door just now. Can you tell me what happened?"

Lin Ya's eyes rolled, the opportunity has come!

"Mr. Chen, it's nothing serious." She said casually, "Ying'er just brought an interesting male companion, and we were chatting."

"Oh?" Chen Haoran followed Lin Ya's gaze and looked at Qin Yu. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Ya was even more proud: "Mr. Chen knows him? Then you should check Ying'er. This second-hand stuff is not worthy of our Liu family's daughter."

The people around nodded in agreement, ready to watch a good show. In their opinion, given Chen Haoran's status and position, he would definitely not treat Qin Yu well.

However, what happened next left everyone stunned.

Chen Haoran slowly walked towards Qin Yu. Everyone held their breath, waiting to watch this good show.

Lin Ya's face was filled with anticipation, as if she had already witnessed Qin Yu being publicly humiliated. The pleasure of kicking someone when they were down made her whole body excited.

"Mr. Chen, you have to keep an eye on Ying Er." Lin Ya said with feigned concern, "This kind of person with questionable character can't harm the good girls in our circle."

Others also echoed:

"That's right, someone that even the Wang family looks down upon..."

"Young Master Chen has the sharpest eyes. He will definitely be able to see through this person's background at a glance."

"Ying'er too, how could she be deceived by such a person?"

Liu Ying clenched her hands tightly, her heart pounding. Although she trusted Qin Yu, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when faced with so many people questioning her.

Qin Yu still looked calm, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Haoran walked in front of Qin Yu, and everyone stretched their necks, waiting to see how he would deal with this "ignorant" guy.

However, what happened next petrified everyone.

Chen Haoran suddenly bowed deeply: "Brother! Why are you here?"

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone thought they had misheard. Chen Haoran, the prince who called the shots in the wealthy world, actually called Qin Yu "Big Brother"?

Lin Ya's smile froze on her face in an instant, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Xiao Chen." Qin Yu nodded calmly, "Why, you don't welcome me?"

"How could that be!" Chen Haoran waved his hands quickly. "I'm so happy that you can come! I just didn't expect to see you here."

As he spoke, Chen Haoran turned to face the crowd, his expression immediately darkening: "Just now I heard someone talking about my eldest brother, who was it?"

Lin Ya's face was as pale as paper, and she opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

Everyone else lowered their heads as well, no one daring to admit what they had just said.

"Why are you all silent?" Chen Haoran sneered, "Wasn't it very lively just now?"

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, we..." Lin Ya stuttered and tried to explain.

"Shut up!" Chen Haoran shouted sternly, "I tell you, Brother Qin Yuqin is the person I respect the most. Anyone who dares to disrespect him today will have a problem with me, Chen Haoran!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Those who had just been mocking Qin Yu now wished they could find a hole to hide in. They never dreamed that this "son-in-law" whom they regarded as trash would actually be the big brother that Chen Haoran mentioned.

"Mr. Chen, is there any misunderstanding?" someone asked tremblingly.

"Misunderstanding?" Chen Haoran sneered, "Do you think I would recognize the wrong person?"

He walked up to Qin Yu, his attitude so respectful that it made people gasp: "Brother, how about you introduce yourself to everyone?"

Qin Yu waved his hand: "Forget it, there's no need."

"How can that be?" Chen Haoran turned to the crowd, his voice full of threat. "Since my elder brother is so modest, I'll say it. Everyone here, remember this: when you see my elder brother from now on, be respectful!"
